Judge’s notes: This is one of the smaller pieces in the show, yet it has so much to see. This is one of those pieces that hits you completely differently in person because you can see the texture and the layers of work, energy. There are beautiful soft edges with muted colors, contrasted with sharp stark white petals. What really moved me was the placement of the pieces. Whether the artists intention or not, there is a feeling of flowers that have been discarded or strewn on a surface possibly near a stream or a wooded area. There is a spirit of caring that comes through, along with a possible story to tell here.
